Default Lil'Gun & .357 Magnum

I'm currently using W231 in my .38 Special and .357 Mag loads, but also want to try some heavier duty loadings with 158gr Hornady XTP and Nosler 158gr HP's.

I've long used Lil'Gun in small rifle calibers: .17 Ackley Hornet, .221 Fireball, 22 K Hornet and others.

I'm looking at the Hodgdon's online data, and Lil'Gun appears to be a relatively low pressure load: 25.8K psi for a max load, versus 40.7K for H110 and 40K for W231.

Anyone here have any experience or comments re using Lil'Gun for your .357 Mag?

Thanks
